While I often have sightings of ghost every now and then, it was always the worst and most often during the 7th month lunar calendar. This was the month when the Chinese believe that the hell gates are opened and all the ghost are given the permit to roam freely as they wish for a month on earth. I guess, in a way, it was a holiday month for them. Most took this as a chance to visit their loved ones and while the homeless ones would roam around looking for solace.

It was the night before the 14th 7th lunar calendar month and I was coming back from the gym. I was heading back home using Jalan Syed Putra. I often take Jalan Syed Putra whenever I leave for work or heading back home so I was quite familiar with every twist and turn. That night, from a distance at the junction where you would either turn to Mid Valley or Cheras, I saw someone standing in the middle of the road. If you are a familiar with Jalan Syed Putra, you will know that between the highway towards KL and towards PJ, there was a stretch of land where the local municipal had planted flowers and pretty hedges to decorate Jalan Syed Putra. It was there that I saw that person.

I was driving on the fastest lane so I could see that this person was standing there. The first thing that crossed my mind was that the person looked like she wanted to cross the highway, so it was only natural that I thought to myself, “Another crazy pedestrian..”.

No sooner that I had finished thinking so, my car passed the pedestrian suddenly goose bumps started standing all over my body. To my horror, I saw that the lady standing there did not have the lower part of her body! In my instincts, I doubled back and looked back with my rearview mirror again to ensure I was not imagining things and true enough, I saw what I saw. When I reached back home, I told my mum what happened and I got a good scolding from her for being home late although it was only 9 o’clock in the evening.

That Syed Putra is normal, many of my office mates see ghosts standing at flower pot beside the road. They said those frequent appear one is those little kids spirits running around during midnite if you’re lucky enough to see them. They are always there…no where to go.
